Exactly. The Fed bounced it back to the state for one reason alone --to let the state decide standing in the state matter rather have the fed arbitrarily impose.

Of course, if the state denies standing to the citizens then I suspect we will see two closely related issues of injustice will be seeking legal remedy. First, the denial of the right for citizens/society to represent their own interests; and second, the ability of the people to best value and decide by legislative and legislatively created legal means what moral standards are in their own best interests to value and promote.
